[Intro 1]
[Em][C][G][Am]
[Em][C][G][Am]
[Em][Em]

[Verse 1]
[Em]As I walk through the vall[C]ey
[Em]of the s[G]hadow of[D] LA[Em]
The footsteps that were [C]next to [Em]me
have [G]gone their [D]separate [Em]ways
I've seen enough now to know that
[C]beautiful [Em]things don't [G]always [D]stay that [Em]way
I've done enough now to know this
[C]beautiful [Em]place isn't [G]every[D]thing they [Em]say

[Pre-chorus 1]
[G]I heard that evi[Am]l comes disguised
[G]Like the city of angels,
I'm [Am]walking towards the light

[Chorus 1]
[Em]Baptized in the rive[C]r
I've seen a [G]vision of my life
and I [Am]want to be delivered
[Em]In the city, was a sinne[C]r
I've done a [G]lot of things wrong,
but I [Am]swear I'm a believer
[Em]Like the prodigal son,
I was out on my [G]own
Now I'm trying to [Am]find my way back [Em]home
Baptized in the [C]river
I'm de[G]livered, I'm de[Am]livered
[Em][Em]

[Verse 2]
You're from a [Em]small town,
you're gonna [C]grow up [Em]fast
[G]Under[D]neath these [Em]lights
Down in Hollywood on the
[C]boule[Em]vard, the [G]dead come [D]back to life
[Em]
To the praying Mother
and the worried Father
[G]Let your [D]children [Em]go
If they come back, they'll come home stronger
And [G]if they [D]don't you'll [Em]know

[Pre-chorus 2]
[G]They say that evi[Am]l comes disguised
[G]Like the city of angels,
I'm [Am]walking towards the light

[Chorus 2]
[Em]Baptized in the rive[C]r
I've seen a [G]vision of my life
and I [Am]want to be delivered
[Em]In the city, was a sinne[C]r
I've done a [G]lot of things wrong,
but I [Am]swear I'm a believer
[Em]Like the prodigal son,
I was out on my [G]own
Now I'm trying to [Am]find my way back [Em]home
Baptized in the [C]river
I'm de[G]livered, I'm de[Am]livered

[Chorus 3]
[Em]Baptized in the river (On my own)[G]

[Em]Baptized in the rive[C]r (On my own)[G]
